ImgBurn DVD-Video Shell Ext

Because I find it very useful - I thought that others may too:

"ImgBurn DVD-Video Shell Ext" is a Windows Shell Extension which gives you a context menu item to launch ImgBurn and burn your VIDEO_TS folders. I.e. right click on any folder named “VIDEO_TS” and you will be able to burn the DVD-Video with ImgBurn!

Updated to v1.2...
Info and download (at bottom of page)

Note: it is a .Net v2 dll

Great - let me know how you get on...

Yes it does (at the moment). A DVD with VIDEO_TS & AUDIO_TS is created...

What is the folder layout in your own case? Do you have parallel folders to the VIDEO_TS folder which contains the extra content?

(EDIT: Just seen that we joined on the same date... many moons ago...!!)

good idea!!!

However, how about using the root folder name of where the VIDEO_TS is to label the DVD...right now it uses ImgBurn default for the ISO label, which is boring ....also, your program over-writes the speed settings you can set in ImgBurn; it sets burn speed to max, which is not a good idea. For example, bad media like Ritek is best at 4x, so if you have imgburn set at 4x previously, your right-click will override this to max and burn will likely be poor. Also, Imgburn with the right-click will only check drive previously used for a blank and ignore the other one. So if your blank is in the wrong drive program just closes. Can you make these improvements?

Awesome first one though!!!!

Okay. When i get a moment (monday, tuesday is the most likely) i will add the following options:

- burn not only V_TS & A_TS, but all that is in the same parent folder.
- use the V_TS parent folder as the DVD label.
- not to use the MAX speed.

They will probably just be registry settings for "non-standard" users...

Checking for which drive the blank media is in is probably not possible as all I am doing here is sending switches to ImgBurn and I can't see how that can be done at the moment...

I look forward to it!!! Much thanks!!!!

also, please make sure, since this is DVD, that you tell ImgBurn to burn ISO9660 + UDF, it should do this automatically, as this is what pressed DVDs use. The label from the parent directory would go IN BOTH labels here...one for ISO9660 and one for UDF.

thanks

me as well

It is already set to "ISO9660 + UDF" in this first build...

ok...thanks !!!!

Ok. I have posted a new version (1.1) which:

- Does not dictate "MAX" for speed and so uses the same settings that you had previously within the program.
- Waits for you to add your media (if you have not got it in the right drive)
- Burns EVERYTHING found in the parent folder of the VIDEO_TS folder
- Makes the volume label as a ISO9660: length 32, [A-Z|0-9|_] based on the parent folder to the VIDEO_TS folder... This is the best i can do ATM as I can only tell ImgBurn to use one volume label...

If you have downloaded before (and you want these new bits) - you will need to redownload.

yah...1.1 is not there. It is still 1.0

let us know when it is posted

MOVs - no. Not handled..

What is ATM as used here "This is the best i can do ATM"

At the moment...

1.1 is now uploaded.

works perfectly...name goes to UDF as well!!!! I guess ImgBurn ensures this...so you do get ISO and UDF...nice!!!

KiwiKid - i will take a look at this issue.

Wile_E: Shell Extensions are dlls that are loaded by the explorer.exe process. Anything that is loaded by a process takes up memory but the dll in this case is 80KB...
